Special Events

The mission of the Special Events office, within the
President’s office, is to maintain the highest quality events, portray
the Health Science Center in the best possible way, support the
university’s strategic vision and enhance the institution’s identity
within the community. There are a variety of internal and external
events the office produces and manages including: commencement events,
employee appreciation events, award ceremonies, luncheons, dinners,
receptions, building dedications, recognition events, Board of Visitors
events, Board of Regents events, holiday events etc… Through these
university events we are able to recognize and celebrate special people
and moments in the life of UNTHSC. In this way, we help support and
cultivate enduring relationships within the UNTHSC family and with our
community partners.

Shea Patterson-Young, special events administrator, also
serves as an internal consultant for other departments for event
planning and to maintain a consistent and positive university image
through consultations on events and projects. Advice on catering,
venues, photography, audio/visual needs, space planning, and promotion
is a service the office provides. Some equipment is also available to
be checked out.
